But they're so damn GOOD.....especially the Jalapeno cheeseburgers!

There used to be a place in Webster, TX called The Jalapeno Tree - now THEY made the best jalapeno burgers you could find anywhere - with REAL beef. And amazingly moist jalapeno corn bread. Sad day when that place closed.
On another note, you know it's true: sometimes it's the simple things that are still just amazingly good. Sliced one of the cayennes in half, seeded it, spread cream cheese on it, gave it a generous sprinkling of coriander, then ran it under the broiler just long enough for the cream cheese to brown. Ten inches of heaven x 2! (And yes, I was quite selfish and ate the whole thing myself...)

Good for you! 10 inches all for yourself! Not long ago, I made a heavenly plate of microwave nachos for myself with some Heartbreaking Dawn's hot sauce and gave the rest of the gang leftover chicken (or something).
I'm sorry. Cream cheese is good but it has no place in anythang I do especially chile's or poppers! It's too commercial and boring. I want more flavor. Gimme' aged cheddar, jarlsberg or goat cheese every time. NOTE: I am not in my right mind as I have fishing on the brain right now. Trying to plan a road trip!
What's left of my "gang" at home doesn't yet appreciate some of the finer things. The heck with the throwdown, the ostrich was amazing (yeah, I know, you'll just have to take my word for it for now.) My son took his requisite one bite, admitted it was delicious, but refused to eat any more, simply on the grounds that it was ostrich. Fine - more for me! Sometimes the gang just needs to eat leftovers and frozen pizzas without us.
Eating cream cheese on a pepper with a touch of a favorite seasoning is like watching a sunset - not something for every day, and not "exciting", but it's a good thing for just chillin' from time to time.
My favorite road trip was when I moved from L.A. to Cleveland. Took 15 through L.V., hooked onto 70 in Utah, through Denver, and into KS. Admittedly, taking that route through KS is likely what gave that state its reputation - almost nothing there. But between L.A. and KS, what amazing country! Coming out of that curve in AZ where the world seems to fall away from the sides of the road is just breathtaking. Glad I was by myself and could just stop whenever and wherever I wanted, as I met a lot of wonderful people on the way, got to see things I might have otherwise missed, and ate some kicka$$ food at all sorts of little diners.
Hope your trip is as enjoyable!
Yes and no. He's got a year left of college, so mostly just lives here when he's not at school or working, but then there are those moments. We made a run to the local grocer's tonight, and found some pomegranate popsicles. Hung out eating them, engaging in a discussion about the flavor and comparing them to Izzy pomegranate soda. (Izzy won both our votes.) Yet although we both enjoy experimenting in the kitchen, and frequently collaborate there, he's completely disengaged from the throwdown, which surprised me.
But he would definitely go for shooting canned potatoe salad with Paulky!
There's hope left for your son!
Yessssss..........good times, good times!!!
Ohh this is going to be good

Been busy with 3 jobs so I havent gotten to read this until today.
You guys just dont know what you are up against with this one.
JayT and I are going to be first and second, with paulky princess and TB fighting for close third and fourth, but still wallowing in their tears of disappointment at the awesomeness of PA possie

At least you acknowledge the inferiority of your entry on this one, putting JayT first - still no crown for you!
I'd be satisfied with a tie for third on this one, as I'm not able to put much time or money into perfecting my entry. (Bradley is still really sick) However, I am putting a wicked spin on my classic idea.....
I will present a respectable enrty!
No no no it's SoFlo Posse, PA Possums, and Aussie Bastids.
Too bad Vegas doesn't have a team yet. Just TB. Where's the Dry Ditch Bit*h? LOL. There you go Aussies, revenge for him deeming you bastids.
